AJA OG-ColorBox openGear In-Line HDR/SDR Algorithmic and LUT Color Transformer

AJA OG-ColorBox is a real-time color management processor designed for broadcast facilities that need deterministic SDR and HDR color handling inside an openGear infrastructure. It is built for technical color transforms, not creative grading, and is intended to live inline as part of a controlled signal path.

In practice, OG-ColorBox is used where signals must match every time. Camera shading pipelines, HDR-to-SDR paths, monitor normalization, and master control environments where “close enough” is not acceptable. Once configured, it behaves like infrastructure and stays out of the way.

Highlights

• Technical color processing: real-time SDR and HDR color correction and color space conversion
• LUT-based workflows: supports 1D and 3D LUTs for calibration and signal normalization
• HDR aware: supports HLG and PQ transfer functions with proper metadata handling
• openGear form factor: installs into standard openGear frames with shared power and cooling
• Facility control: managed through Dashboard for centralized configuration and monitoring

Quick Specs & Practical Uses

• Video formats: SD, HD, 2K, UHD, and 4K up to 2160p60
• Processing: real-time color correction, gamut mapping, and transfer function conversion
• HDR formats: HLG and PQ, including SDR ↔ HDR transforms
• LUT support: 1D and 3D LUTs for technical alignment and calibration
• Deployment: openGear card for centralized racks and multi-channel facilities
• Use cases: master control, HDR/SDR simulcast, camera matching, monitor normalization, color-critical routing

HDR & Color Management

The unit handles HDR signaling using HLG and PQ transfer functions and manages metadata so downstream devices receive predictable information. This reduces ambiguity in monitoring and helps keep HDR and SDR paths aligned across the plant.

Connectivity & Workflow

As an openGear card, OG-ColorBox benefits from centralized power, cooling, and signal management. This makes it better suited to large installations than standalone converters that introduce power and cabling inconsistencies.

Configuration and monitoring are handled through Dashboard, allowing multiple units to be managed from a single interface.

Why It Helps

Color issues in broadcast systems are rarely isolated. They are systemic. OG-ColorBox exists to enforce consistent color behavior across the signal chain and remove guesswork from HDR and SDR coexistence.
